A note on the topic of bug exploiting... if you find a bug, there are two options:
1) Exploit the bug and be punished severely if caught.
2) Report the bug immediately and receive a reward.
There is no middle ground. If you exploit a bug that lets you get infinite gold, don't be surprised to see your entire bank, gold, and houses deleted since we have no idea what was bought with exploited gold. If this seems severe, consider it the punishment for exploiting instead of reporting. If you only take away what the person gained through the exploit, it is not a punishment, and there is no reason at all not to exploit bugs or to report them.
The rules also call for a banning if a bug is being exploiting, so if you get less than that, consider it an act of mercy.
